What is a Data Connector?

A Data Connector allows you to securely connect Julius to your data warehouses (like PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.) by providing your database credentials to the AI. This means you can analyze your data directly from your database without having to download and upload files manually.

Once a connector is enabled, it’s available for your entire chat session, allowing Julius to access and query your data contextually across all interactions.

Benefits of Using Data Connectors

  • Real-time Analysis: Query live data directly from your production databases
  • No File Management: Skip the hassle of downloading, uploading, and managing data files
  • Always Up-to-Date: Work with the latest data without manual exports
  • Secure Connection: Your credentials are encrypted and your data never leaves your control
  • Team Collaboration: Share access to the same data sources across your team

Getting to Data Connectors Settings

  1. Navigate to your Settings by clicking on your profile in the top right corner
  2. Select Data Connectors from the settings menu
  3. Or go directly to: julius.ai/settings/data_connectors
